    We donâ??t care about the issues, we want a Mott, Link It Up tee shirt! Great references today. The Magnum PI thunderbird was great, tongue split down the middle, old school video game references. Loving it! Looking forward to a great year. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    No Mott Link it UP!!??? because of legal issues??? Maybe Mott got a lawyer and rightfully asked for his 2 cents,,, and the big boss CRUSHED him???? 😉

    BTW… patting when you hug is a sign of being uncomfortable…. so, try a nice steady squeeze when you mean it!!!! MY 2 cents……

    I LOVE Torrontes — the 2002 Crios was the second or third wine I ever bought/tasted, and is largely responsible for my interest in wine. In grad school, my roommate and I drank a Crios Torrontes every 2-3 weeks during summer. It’s still my favorite, although I had a Lo Tengo once which was just as great. I haven’t had a Torrontes in a few months now; maybe it’s time to break one out….

    I’m sorry about the loss in your family, Gary.

    A couple of years ago some cheap torrontes wines really hit me. They were easy and very aromatic. It was one thing that got me really interested in wine.

    I loved the Torrentes that came in the Thanksgiving 4 Pack! I’ll have to seek out more, especially the Alamos cause it’s such a reliable producer.

    QOTD: Madison, WI during school and Tiverton, RI otherwise…and this fall it’ll be Somewhere, France.
